\u201cWhen two\u00a0Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine\u00a0students,\u00a0Andrew Chu\u00a0and\u00a0Samir Haroon, proposed a smartphone application to support ICOUGH, we could not have imagined how well patients and staff would receive the app or how effective it might be. The results are especially impressive in our safety net hospital, Boston Medical Center, where one-quarter of patients do not speak English and racial and ethnic minorities constitute 70% of all patients,” noted Dr.\u00a0David McAneny, vice chair of the department of surgery and principal investigator of the original ICOUGH study.\u201d<\/p>\n
